The lady Warriors are coming together just in time for playoffs.

They didn't get the win Tuesday against Truckee, but they did play some of their best basketball so far this season. The Warriors minimized turnovers, stayed out of foul trouble a hung with a bigger school in a 33-38 loss at home.

"It's probably the best four quarters we've put together this season so far," coach Tom Esposito said. "Every time we meet a big school it seems to take us a whole half before we realize we can hang with them, but this time the girls were confident from the first jump all the way until the end."

Truckee maintained a slight edge through the game, 15-12 at halftime and 20-19 after the third, but the Warriors were never out.

The Wolverines' 18-14 fourth quarter gave them the win, but the five-point loss reflects huge strides for Whittell. Last time the two teams met, Truckee beat Whittell by 30 points.
